What sensory receptors are responsible for activating
neural and hormonal mechanisms that regulate
extracellular fluid volume?
Extracellular fluid is one of many types of fluids present outside of the cell of an organism. Examples of extracellular fluid are cerebrospinal fluid(CSF), aqueous humor in the eye, perilymph, and endolymph in the ear, etc. It is found in blood, lymph, in body cavities lined with a serous membrane.ECF consists of plasma, interstitial, and transcellular fluid. The extracellular fluid volume is the sum of the plasma volume and interstitial fluid volume.
Sensory neurons transmit impulses from sensory receptors in the internal organs or skin into the CNS. Sensory receptors are dendrites of sensory neurons, which receive specific kinds of stimuli. Mainly sense organs i.e, eyes and ears consist of sensory neurons with receptors for special senses like vision, hearing connective, epithelial, or other tissues. These sensory receptors are classified as chemoreceptors, thermoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, or photoreceptors.
